Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Studien analyserar sambanden mellan sysselsättning för unga vuxna med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning som gått i gymnasiesärskolan och deras sociala bakgrund, mätt som föräldrarnas utbildningsnivå och geografiska härkomst. Den här registerstudien baseras på Halmstad university register on pupils with intellectual disabilities (HURPID), Longitudinell integrationsdatabas för arbetsmarknads- och sjukförsäkringsstudier (LISA) samt LSS-registret. Studien omfattar 12 269 unga med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning som gick ut gymnasiesärskolan mellan 2001 och 2011. De samband som studeras analyseras genom multipla logistiska regressioner. Resultaten visar att föräldrars utbildningsnivå har viss betydelse för före detta gymnasiesärskoleelevers sysselsättning. Barn till högutbildade föräldrar har med större sannolikhet en sysselsättning inom daglig verksamhet och barn till lågutbildade föräldrar har med större sannolikhet ett förvärvsarbete. Sannolikheten för att ha någon av sysselsättningskategorierna daglig verksamhet eller förvärvsarbete är lägst bland barn till föräldrar som är födda i länder utanför Norden. Högutbildade föräldrar antas ha en högre grad av den ”välfärdskompetens” som krävs för att hantera dagens välfärdssystem och härigenom kunna påverka de ungas möjligheter att få insatser likt daglig verksamhet. Lågutbildade föräldrar antas ha egna erfarenheter av, och kontakter med, arbetsplatser där det finns arbetsuppgifter utan (eller med låga) formella kompetenskrav. Samhällets kunskaper och medvetenhet om den sociala bakgrundens betydelse för efter(sär)gymnasial sysselsättning bland unga med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning behöver öka. Detta i syfte att bättre möta varierande individuella förutsättningar och främja etablering i arbetslivet för fler unga vuxna med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning vid övergången från skoltid till arbetsliv.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective: To explore how managers find out about common mental disorders (CMDs) among employees and associations with managers’ work- and knowledge-related characteristics and attitude to CMDs.Methods: Data from an online survey in 2017 with Swedish managers (n = 1810) were used. Different ways managers find out about CMDs were measured, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted for associations with manager characteristics.Results: Few managers found out about CMDs themselves; another source was more common e.g., employees’ self-disclosure. Managers’ overseeing fewer subordinates and those with a negative attitude to depression were more likely to find out about CMDs themselves. The significance of mental health training and education could not be established.Conclusion: Managers’ awareness about employees’ CMDs mainly came about through employees’ self-disclosure. Managers’ attitudes and work conditions were related to the way of finding out.Copyright © 2021 by the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Uneven division of domestic factors may contribute to sex differences in sickness absence with psychiatric disorders. The aim of this scoping review was to compile current Nordic research on domestic factors and sickness absence with psychiatric disorders. A systematic search was performed to identify studies from the Nordic countries published between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2019. Twelve studies were included. Marital status, family situation, work-home interference (in both directions), social affiliation, and loss of child/young adult (suicide, accident, or natural death) were identified as measures of domestic factors. In 8 of the 12 studies, domestic factors were used as co-variates, while four used them as the main exposure. Social affiliation, home-to-work conflict, and total workload were not associated with the outcome. One study found that parents with children older than two years, widows/widowers, and those divorced or unmarried had an increased risk of sickness absence with psychiatric disorders. One study found that work-to-home conflict was associated with sickness absence with stress-related diagnoses in men, and with other mental disorders in women. Finally, one study found that losing a son or daughter aged 16-24 years increased the risk of future sickness absence with a psychiatric disorder regardless of the cause of death. Future studies need to develop concepts, study designs, and measurements to move this research area further. In particular, the concept of "unpaid domestic work" needs theoretical and empirical development.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Common mental disorders (CMDs) are an extensive problem in the society and attributed to stigma. Prevention of CMD at work is advocated but few studies have investigated what kind of preventive actions managers take. We investigated managers’ attitudes to depression and two managerial preventive actions (MPA): ‘reviewing assignments and the work situation’ (MPA-review) and ‘taking initiative to talk about depression and anxiety at the workplace’ (MPA-talk). We hypothesized that managers’ negative attitudes towards depression would be negatively associated with both MPAs.Methods: An on-line survey was sent in 2017 to 4737 managers, answer rate 71% (n = 3358), of which 2 899 were included in this study. Negative attitudes were measured through the 12-item instrument “Managerial stigma towards employee depression” (scores 12-72), a cut-off at the 3rd quartile was used as an indicator for having negative attitudes. MPAs were measured with two single questions. Negative attitudes to depression were analyzed in relation to MPA-review and MPA-talk using binary logistic regression analysis with adjustments for sex, education, managerial experience and training, lived experiences of CMD, work organizational context and general preventive actions in the organization towards CMD. Results: The proportion of managers with negative attitudes to depression was 20%, performing MPA-review and MPA-talk was 50% and 57% respectively. Adjusted for all co-variates, managers with negative attitudes towards employees with depression were less likely to do both MPA-review (OR 0.71; 95% CI, 0.57-0.89) and MPA-talk (OR 0.53; 95% CI, 0.42-0.66).Conclusions: Managers with negative attitudes to depression were less likely to take actions to prevent CMD among their employees which confirmed the study hypotheses. The study suggests that initiatives to reduce stigma among managers could be a way forward to prevent CMD at work.Key messages: • Stigma to depression hampers managers’ prevention of CMD and needs to be addressed. • To increase managers prevention of CMD, managerial training to reduce stigma towards depression is essential.© The Author(s) 2022.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective: To investigate the association between managers' attitudes towards subordinates with common mental disorders (CMD), self-confidence in supporting these subordinates and managerial preventive actions (MPAs).Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among Swedish managers (n = 2988) and two types of MPAs: reviewing assignments and work situation (MPA-review); talking about CMD at the workplace (MPA-talk). Binary logistic regression models were applied and adjusted for individual and organizational covariates.Results: Managers with negative attitudes towards subordinates with CMD were less likely to have done both MPAs. Managers with higher self-confidence in supporting these subordinates were more likely to have done both MPAs compared with managers with lower self-confidence.Conclusions: Managerial negative attitudes towards CMD and self-confidence in supporting subordinates with CMD have a role in MPAs and should be addressed in manager training programmes to encourage preventive actions.

Managers’ prevention and self-confidence in supporting employees with common mental disorders

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Despite managers’ responsibility for work environment and employee health few studies have investigated managers’ actions to prevent common mental disorders (CMD). Concerning prevention of CMD, qualitative studies report managers feeling unconfident. We investigated managers’ self-confidence in supporting employees with CMD and two managerial preventive actions (MPA): ‘reviewing assignments and the work situation’ (MPA-review) and ‘taking initiative to talk about depression and anxiety at the workplace’ (MPA-talk). We hypothesized that managers’ self-confidence in supporting employees with CMD would be positively associated with both MPAs.Methods: An on-line survey was sent in 2017 to 4737 managers, answer rate 71% (n = 3358), of which 2 899 were included in this study. Both independent and dependent variables were measured through single questions. Self-confidence in supporting employees with CMD was analyzed in relation to MPA-review and MPA-talk using binary logistic regression analysis adjusted for sex, education, managerial experience and training, lived experiences of CMD, work organizational context and general preventive actions in the organization towards CMD.Results: The proportion of managers with higher self-confidence in supporting employees with CMD was 48.9%, performing MPA-review and MPA-talk was 50% and 57% respectively. Adjusted for all co-variates, managers with higher self-confidence in supporting employees with CMDs were more likely to do both MPA-review (OR 1.57; 95% CI, 1.31-1.87) and MPA-talk (OR 2.06; 95% CI, 1.71-2.25).Conclusions: The study hypotheses were confirmed. Managers with more self-confidence in supporting employees with CMD were more likely to take actions to prevent CMD, particularly regarding initiating talks about CMD with subordinates. The study suggests it is important to strengthen managers self-confidence in supporting employees with CMD to increase their preventive actions towards CMD.Key messages: • Managers’ self-confidence in supporting employees with CMD is vital for workplace prevention. • To strengthen managers’ self-confidence in supporting employees with CMD is essential.© The Author(s) 2022.

Cohort Profile : The Halmstad University Register on Pupils with Intellectual Disability (HURPID)
- 2023
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Knowledge about the living conditions for people with intellectual disability (ID) is limited, not least since they constitute such a small group, which puts them at risk of being invisible in the general statistics. Thus, there is a great need of a complete register of individuals in this group.The Swedish Halmstad University Register on Pupils with Intellectual Disability (HURPID) is the first population-based, nationwide sample of former pupils in upper secondary school for pupils with intellectual disability (n = 26 906). The aim of this presentation is to provide a description of that register.HURPID consists of pupils who were assessed as not having the ability to reach the knowledge requirements of upper secondary school, due to ID, during the academic years of 2000/2001 – 2019/2020. The cohort was established to study the transition from school to working age and to follow the development regarding living conditions, occupational patterns, and health over time. School leaving certificates and corresponding documents of former pupils who attended the school form in question during the academic years of 2000/2001 - 2010/2011 were collected in 2011-2012. Information on national identification number, sex, program, municipality, graduation year and complete/incomplete degree were registered. In 2020-2022, a similar data collection was carried out and corresponding information for the academic years of 2011/2012 - 2019/2020 was added (total n = 11 077 women and 15 829 men).So far, HURPID has been used to study occupational patterns in general (also including exploration of those not involved in employment, education, or daily activity), comorbidity, mortality, heritability, substance abuse, crime, and victimization. Future studies may, for example, examine occupational patterns over time, changes after reforms, need of support, financial situation, access to health care, comparisons with individuals with low intellectual ability (without ID), risk factors for ID and penal sanctions.
